Pretty quiet as all fresh water bodies mostly frozen. Pink-footed Goose - c800 these birds have been feeding on potato tailings just across the river for more than 2 weeks now. Goosander - 2 flocks this afternoon of 26 and 46 birds respectively. The 26 flew S along the waters edge whilst the 46 flew directly inland over Mill Hill. Iceland Gull - 1 1st w. Yellow-legged Herring Gull - 1 ad Shorelark - 11 This flock has now been around for at least 2 weeks Snow Bunting - 35 Skua sp - looked a bit small for Pom? Lapland bunting 2 Lapwing - small flocks in off the sea all pm Herring Gull - 1000+ on the beach mostly argenteus but some argentatus and at least 2 darker backed birds grading towards LBB gull - interesting. Barnacle Goose - 2 Plus various ducks on the sea - Eider,Wigeon,Scoter, RB Merg etc with Rob Watson and John Shaugnessy |

That is a massive count of goosander for Gib !! (previous record was 20 )- would be interesting to know if these are birds moving from frozen waterbodies inland or whether they are new in from Europe. Kev |

Interestingly the flock of 46 Goosander contained only 1 ad male whilst the flock of 26 had 4 ad males. |
